Hard work pays, hence I will do my best in every opportunity accorded to me. I believe in the existence of a powerful supreme God, who controls the whole universe and the occurrences in it. I am subject to this God, and hence in my interactions with others I will maintain peace and harmony. Life is sacred, and I will do all in power to preserve it, while maintaining the comfort of my patients. All men are equal, have rights, and will be treated with respect, regardless of their color, race, and religious beliefs or social
However, Goodness is something that Plato has never properly established what The Form of the Good exactly is but we recognise it because we understand how they correspond to our intuitive knowledge of the Form of the Good. On the other hand, the physical inanimate objects are the least important of the Forms because they encourage people to accept things at face value and not look belong their senses. The Forms come from a world of perfection which are illuminated by The Form of the Good which is at the top of the hierarchy and is the source of which all the other Forms stemmed from. Gaining knowledge of The Good means that you will then be able to develop a further awareness and understanding of the other Forms. A clear example of this would be in Plato’s analogy of The Cave.

Ethical perspective is not always about making everyone happy, because it is virtually impossible to make everyone happy.
Ayn Rand’s Anthem I do not agree or disagree with Rand’s doctrine of ethical egoism. I believe that we should live in a society that is a combination of both, ethical egoism and ethical altruism. In my opinion Rand’s doctrine of ethical egoism seems to be self-centered, but on the other hand the doctrine of ethical altruism is not all that appealing in my eyes.

His plan for each person on earth is for us to prosper that is to have the most amazing life possible on earth.
